Throughout Mary's Mackillop life she strived to live out in the footsteps of Jesus by demonstrating multiple priestly, prophetic and kingly works of Jesus. Jesus demonstrated all these aspects of kingly, priestly and prophetic during his life on earth. In the bible it says that prophetic means to  “accept the Gospel in faith and to proclaim it in word and deed.”  Jesus told his disciples: Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation. (Mark 16:15)(in class resources) . Mary Mackillop did this in her life by teaching the needy and spreading the good news of god by living it out everyday. We understand that a kingly role is  Jesus’ mission to have God reign in the hearts of all so to promote peace and justice in the world. Jesus exercised his royal office by serving. Mary Mackillop did this in her life by showing that she was the leader of the Josephite Sisters. The Josephite sisters continue to serve those in need and complete acts of great kindness and humility. As this order was created in Mary Mackillop's leadership and honour, she can be described as a servant leader, as she acted to serve god and lead others to the right path and help the needy. In the bible it says that Jesus priestly mission, meant sacrificing himself on the cross to expose sin but refuse vengeance. God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)(in class

Mary was born of Scottish parents , alexander Mackillop and Flora Macdonald in Fitzroy, Victoria on the 15th of January 1842. Mary was the eldest of 8 kids , three girls and four boys. From a young age Mary was expected to earn a living and bring a portion of income into the family home, by working as a governess, as a clerk . Alexander Mackillop was the main source of education for Mary and her siblings. Mary's dad wasn't a school teacher but he had study priesthood for some years. By Mary's dad studding priesthood this had a strong influence on how Mary saw and experienced the world. Mary lived in a town with little support of education, unhygienic living conditions and many of her friends living without relievable food, water and shelter. In 1863 Mary had an opportunity to become a teacher at Portland catholic denominational school where she can hopefully make a different in peoples life's forever. When this opportunity came along Mary knew this was a chance to live in Jesus footsteps and help the less fortunate. After teaching and support the less fortunate for around three years Mary took a risk  at starting her own small school called the Stable School. with the help from father Julian Edmund tension woods Mary had realised that their dream of providing catholic education for children in remote, isolated areas was starting to become a reality. Within months of beginning ,in  the rented stable was deemed unsuitable for a permanent school, father woods commissioned the building of a new school-room near the catholic church in Portland street, Penola. After the sisters and children left the rented stable to go to the new schoolhouse, the MacDonald family took ownership on the stables and they dismantles the building and removed  majority of the timber out to a nearby Kalangadoo.  During this time Mary had to face many challenges involving money, supplies e.g. food , water and things to teach with and the death of her father on the 19th December 1868. Mary Mackillop never gave up her dream hance the decision of opening Orphanages, Providences to care for the homeless and destitute both young and old, and Refuges for ex-prisoners and ex-prostitutes who wished to make a fresh start in life. This women was an inspiration to many women today try to live out in Jesus' word. Mary's great dedication to God's work she reminds us to stand in great courage and trust in living out of God's loving and compassionate care of those in need.

Gospel story
Gospel story 
The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.  But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”
They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”
“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”
When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied,  and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.  The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Biblical criticism: 
 
The gospel of feeding the 5000 people is found in four of the gospels, Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9;10-17 and John 6;1-15. Each writer tells the story a little differently depending on whom they are writing for. Each, however, tell the story how Jesus taught his followers about the kingdom of god through gospel stories.
 
World behind the text: 
In the time of Jesus Christ people believed that the work of god was present in everyday life good events and bad events included. There was no sense of the scientific principles that we understand today. Therefore miracles   were an indication of gods power and actions.  
 World of the text: 
In the gospel of mark the crowd of people is said to be like a sheep without  Shepard, it is said that Jesus has compassion upon them and so begins teaching them. This technique of comparing Jesus to a Shepard and the crowd to his flock indicates that while this miracle was taking place the purpose was to ultimately learn about the power and compassion of god which was demonstrated through Jesus. 
 World in front of the text: 
Like many of Jesus' healing miracles stories the feeding of the 5000 was intended to demonstrate God's compassions for human beings and the responds to people in need. This gospel suggest that you should always have trust in god and that he will assist you when its needed. I feel this gospel story also is sending a message that you may only have a little but with using what you have well and smart that you can do anything like feed 5000 people with little as 5 loafs of bread and two fish. This gospel is making you think about the problem, action and reaction of the text also along with the internal and external changes,. The external changes I feel are that we was able to feed 5000 people with only 5 loafs of bread and 2 fish and the internal changes would be that Jesus made everyone good and less hungry. The problem of this gospel is that 5000 people show up and Jesus has to mange to feed 50000 of them with only 5 loafs of bread and 2 fish. The action is that Jesus somehow is able to feed all of the people with small meals. The reaction from the people and the disciples is that they are confused because they don’t understand how that low number of food could feed a large crowd and they are glad that everyone will have gotten food. Mary Mackillop and Jesus before him had a vision for a mission. Though she , as those before her, came across multiply barriers to achieve their mission, she continue to on her journey and today we enjoy the legacy that she had left for us. This stories reflects Mary's life as she didn’t have access to many goods, she made do with what she had , made sure she shared as much as see could with others and always continued to believe in god.

Throughout her life, Mary Mackillop was a prolific writer, starting with journals , letters back home to her mother every month and sharing her love for writing with the needy. This is an example of a writing that Mary wrote to god about her troubles. 
 "My Lord,
Will you kindly permit me to write a few thoughts which it troubles me to keep from you, and yet which I can hardly express when talking to you.
I would speak them, my Lord, and I am sure you would wish me to be unreserved with you, but I seem to lose courage; in trying to be unreserved I would displease my Bishop.
It is in a most docile and humble spirit, my Lord, that I can venture to say what are and have been for many years the thoughts of my heart. I longed for a Religious life, one in which I could serve God and His poor neglected little ones, in poverty and disregard of the world and its fleeting opinions.
When an opportunity of entering another religious Community was offered to me, family circumstances, for one reason, prevented my availing myself of it, but there was another reason as well, known only to my Confessor, namely, that in the Order I could not find what my heart craved. I looked for a poverty more like unto that practised in the early Religious Orders of the Church, a poverty which in its practice would make a kind of reparation to God for the little confidence now placed in His Divine Providence by so many of His creatures. Circumstances, as well as choice, having for many years compelled me to live as a teacher, I saw so much of the evils attending a merely secular course of education, that all my desires seemed to centre in a wish to devote myself to poor children and the afflicted poor, in some very poor Order."
 
This excerpt of writing above to me demonstrates Marys outgoing commitment to god and helping the less fortunate. In this excerpt from Mary's letter you can read about some of hers  barriers that she faced during her time. This writting clearly shows Mary's missionary heart and mind.

Even though Mary Mackillop rests in heaven now her legacy still remains. Many people continue to live out Marys mission by responding to places of violence, fear and insecurity in our world, the places of incompleteness and limitation in ourselves. This group of women called the sisters of saint joseph of the sacred heart do this daily in places throughout Australia, new Zealand, Ireland, Peru, east Timor, Scotland and brazil. They continue to listen again and again to the cry of the poor and respond revealing the hospitable heart of god.Another community that strives to live out Mary Mackillop's mission and values is the Mary Mackillop College. Mary Mackillop colleges vision and mission of the college is to follow in the footsteps of Mary MacKillop and Josephine traditions and reflects the catholic Christian life. The colleges focus on the values of dignity of each other, equality of opportunity, and great trust in god. The college focuses on providing a good education for all and helping the needy e.g. catering for diverse needs. As you can tell Mary Mackillop college are attempting to live out the footsteps of Mary Mackillop and sharing her story's and legacy. The final association that follows Mary Mackillop legacy is called the Mary Mackillop international. The Mary Mackillop international is an association that aims to assist with aid and development organisation of the Sisters of St Joseph.

Rerum novaraum was written during Mary Mackillop's life, so , therefore Rerum Novarum was inspired by Mary Mackillop. Rerum Novarum was written by pope Leo XII in 1891 the 15th of May. This piece of writing is quite large and covers multiple issues including money, work, responsibility and duties that come with that, plus the government and its people. I think that this verse in Rerum Novarum reflects Mary life mission:

"Rights must be religiously respected wherever they exist, and it is the duty of the public authority to prevent and to punish injury, and to protect everyone in the possession of his own.

Still, when there is question of defending the rights of individuals, the poor and badly off have a claim to especial consideration.

The richer class have many ways of shielding themselves, and stand less in need of help from the State; whereas the mass of the poor have no resources of their own to fall back upon, and must chiefly depend upon the assistance of the State.

And it is for this reason that wage-earners, since they mostly belong in the mass of the needy, should be specially cared for and protected by the government."

This verse basically states that everyone has the right to be religiously respected including the poor. The class of the rich have many ways to shield themselves but, on the other hand, the poor have nothing to fall back on. With this in mind the wage-earners aka the needy, need to be well cared for and protected by the government. During Mary Mackillop's life she strived to help the needy have a better life by teaching at a school that cost students nothing and provided students with whatever Mary could get her hands on e.g. food, medication and shelter. Mary was the back bone for majority of the needy and as it starts up that no one really cared for the needy but that all had to change and that changed started with Mary Mackillop.

Jesus demonstrated all these aspects of kingly, priestly and prophetic during his life on earth.

We understand that a kingly role is  Jesus’ mission to have God reign in the hearts of all so to promote peace and justice in the world. Jesus exercised his royal office by serving. Mary Mackillop did this in her life by showing that she was the leader of the Josephite Sisters. The Josephite sisters continue to serve those in need and complete acts of great kindness and humility. As this order was created in Mary Mackillop's leadership and honour, she can be described as a servant leader, as she acted to serve god and lead others to the right path and help the needy. In the bible it says that Jesus priestly mission, meant sacrificing himself on the cross to expose sin but refuse vengeance. God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)(in class resources) Mary Mackillop showed priestly actions by making prayer and Eucharist the centre of her life. Mary devoted her life to the practices of prayers and Eucharist, which is demonstrated in her devotion to participating in Eucharistic liturgies and the many hours that she spent in adoration before the blessed sacrament.
